Tēnā kōutōu katoa.
I am standing District-Wide for New Plymouth District Council bringing two terms of proven experience, trusted leadership and a deep commitment to serving our communities. I'm known for my strong work ethic, strategic thinking and inclusive, evidence-based decision making.
I've championed greater transparency, built enduring relationships across our district, and ensured diverse voiced are heard and respected.
I hold a Master's degree in Māori and Indigenous Leadership and am currently pursuing a PhD in Political Science, with a focus on Te Tiriti o Waitangi and local government. I love this district. It's environmental tapestry, its people, and its immense potential. It has been an honour to serve you, and I humbly ask for your support again.
